Headline: Wisconsin State Journal, 11/30/2021
The hotel is designed to serve Monona Terrace and other Downtown events and will add to the growing list of new hotels that have been built or undergone extensive upgrades in the city in recent years prior to the onset of COVID-19. Tourism in Dane County is typically a more than $1 billion industry, and officials are bullish that as events and business travel return, a hotel, like that planned for Judge Doyle Square, will be key in accommodating visitors.
Although reduced from 12 stories in Beitler’s original proposal, the proposed Embassy Suites will retain its curved shape facing the street but abandons the dominant glass appearance for a mix of metal panels and glass and some masonry at the base. It will also include a first-floor lobby with bar, restaurant and meeting spaces, according to plans.

What are the goals behind the project and have they been met?
With the development, the city aims to put two prime downtown land parcels back on the tax roll, replace the Government East garage, build a hotel, create a pedestrian-friendly environment on Pinckney Street and connect the Capitol to Monona Terrace.
Capital Times, 7/30/2021
Beitler Real Estate, based in Chicago, is looking to transfer development rights for the hotel that would serve Monona Terrace — a longtime primary goal of the construction project encompassing two downtown blocks — to Mortenson Development, which is headquartered in Minneapolis.
The proposal would mean that Mortenson would develop the nine-story, 260-room hotel, expected to be an Embassy Suites, on the 200 block of South Pinckney Street. The approvals required to make this happen would be needed by December to close on financing, per a stipulation in the current development agreement.

Once demolished, the dilapidated garage will be replaced with a hotel, commercial space and apartments. The structure was the first public parking garage owned by the city of Madison.
The newly constructed Wilson Street Garage just adjacent officially opened to the public in June.
